Some towns in NH exist, but don't. That is because they are villages, but over the years the folks just let them slide as towns. You won't find an "Entering the Town of" sign for any of these, but if you ask around, someone will be able to tell you were they begin and end.
Lochmere=Tilton
Penacook=Concord
Georges Mills=Sunapee
Elkins=New London
East Andover=Andover
Gilmanton Iron Works=Gilmanton
Center Barnstead=Barnstead
Loudon Center=Loudon (although this is just a farm and does not encompass any more, it also had its own PO)
Plus many, many more.
These are just a few examples of NH Villages, they mean something to us, so we keep them around. Some of these villages have a different zip code and have PO's, but that is it and some do not have anything outside of their name on a map.
